1. What does Putin really want?

Zelensky’s head in a platter of gold; and for what?

 

1. The whole of battered and bloody Ukraine

In his private pocket as a precious gain?

 

1. Or Ukraine's gold and mineral and whatever

To enrich his deep and rich coffer?

 

1. Or just for pride and arrogance and colour

To make him a modern conquerer?

 

1. Ambition for history to call him great?

With all the blood dripping from his hands and still struggling to slaughter fate?

 

1. To conquer the world just for pride and fame?

His death he can't conquer, and in its ravages he cannot tame

 

7. The laughter we spread live after us

    And so is the chaos sounding sad eternally, in people's minds
